Mission Objectives
Define "Self-Control" as the Pause Button on the ship's computer.
Practice 3 specific de-escalation maneuvers (Star Breathing, Wall Push, Grounding).
Identify when to use the "Pause Button" before hitting the Red Zone.
Materials Needed
• Week 2 Slides
• Pause Button Worksheet
• A real or toy stopwatch (optional)
1. Storm Warning (10 mins)
Review the Red Zone. Explain that "Storms" happen when our engine gets too fast. When a pilot sees a storm, they don't just crash; they use their tools to stay steady.
2. The Pause Button (15 mins)
Introduce Self-Control as a "Pause Button." It doesn't mean you're not angry; it just means you stop the ship for 10 seconds to think.
3. Practicing Maneuvers (20 mins)
Teach these tools:
Star Breathing: Trace a star, breathing in on up-strokes, out on down.Wall Push: Push against a wall for 10 seconds to release tension.Grounding (5-4-3-2-1): Name things you can see, touch, and hear.
Facilitator Note: Don't wait for a real explosion to practice. Mastering the Pause Button happens during calm times so it's ready when the storm hits.

Parent Support Signal // WEEK 2
The Pause Menu Metaphor
This week, we are shifting from observation to strategic action.
Impulse control is difficult for kids with ADHD. By framing it as a "Pause Menu," we give them a 10-second buffer between a trigger and a reaction.
Co-Op Mode
Step 1: Signal
"I see a glitch! Your voice is getting loud."
Step 2: Strategy
"Let's open your Pause Menu. Which power-up do you need?"

Mission Objectives
Differentiate between "Rock Brain" (stuck) and "Superflex" (flexible).
Practice transitions using the "3-2-1 Countdown."
Develop a "Plan B" when the original plan changes.
Materials
• Week 3 Slides
• Plan B Decision Map
• Modeling clay or a rubber band
1. Stuck in Orbit (10 mins)
ADHD can make brains feel like a rock—hard and unmoving—especially during transitions. Flexibility is like a rubber band brain that can stretch.
2. "Rerouting" Command (15 mins)
When a plan changes, we don't crash; we reroute. This requires letting go of Plan A and finding a Plan B.
3. Transition Training (15 mins)
Practice the "3-2-1 Launchpad" method: Give 3 warnings before stopping a high-interest activity.
Facilitator Tip: Transitions are the peak time for noncompliance. Validating it's 'hard to stop' while providing a countdown reduces the shock to the brain.

Parent Support Signal // WEEK 3
Flexible Thinking
For children with ADHD, unexpected changes can feel like a system crash.
This week, we are teaching them to "reroute" when a plan fails. We use the language of "Plan A" and "Plan B" to reduce the panic of the unexpected.
Reroute Routine
The Glitch:
"The park is closed. That's a Plan A glitch."
The Reroute:
"Let's open your Map. What's our Plan B?"
Save Points
Give "Save Point" warnings before transitions (5 min, 2 min, 1 min) to help the brain prepare for the reroute.

ADHD disrespect is often a "bad transmission" of a real need. We are teaching your child to translate frustration into I-Statements.

Space Bubble
Respect also includes physical space. Encourage your child to ask before entering your personal Space Bubble.

Impulsivity makes it hard to see the End Game.

Logic Coach
The Calculation:
"If you choose to finish your homework now, then you get to play games for an hour later. That leads to Planet Fun!"
The Risk:
"If you choose to throw that toy, then it might break. That leads to the Void."
Patching It Up

One thing I'm proud of doing this week:
MASTER PLAYER UNLOCKED
MISSION COMPLETE
Parent Support Signal // WEEK 6
Graduation
You and your child have completed the Level Up Training.
Perspective-taking was the final step—helping your child understand that their emotional regulation impacts the "Party." They are now a teammate.
Carry Forward
Keep the Metaphor:
Continue using "Zones," "Pause Menus," and "Reroutes." It removes the blame and focuses on the system.
Master Coach Tip
"Your child's brain is still developing. They won't use these tools 100% of the time, and that's okay."
